The second stage of the 2023/24 VTB United League season is nearing completion. Minsk residents have two away matches left in Moscow. This Wednesday, April 10, Aliaksei Sukhavetsky's wards will meet with Runa. For more information, see the preview.
Season 2023/24
In its debut season, Runa Moscow will no longer be able to compete for the playoffs, losing in the decisive match to its direct competitor - MBA (75:82). Erturul Erdogan's team, taking 5th place in the Group B standings, won 15 victories in 38 matches. The history of meetings between Minsk residents and Runa has 3 victories of Muscovites. However, it is difficult to call the opponent a favorite in the next meeting, since our team continues to gain shape by the end of the season, and perhaps it will please the fans with another victory.
